Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct chronological sequence of these events is: Cripps Mission (1942), Wavell Plan (1945), Cabinet Mission (1946), and Radcliffe Award (1947). The Cripps Mission was sent in March 1942 to seek Indian support for World War II [c4][t2]. Following the war, the Wavell Plan was proposed in 1945 during the Simla Conference to break the political deadlock [c2][c5]. The Cabinet Mission, consisting of three British cabinet members, arrived in early 1946 to negotiate the transfer of power and proposed a three-tier administrative structure [c3][t6]. Finally, the Radcliffe Award, which demarcated the boundaries between India and Pakistan, was published in August 1947, just after independence [t3][t4]. This sequence (3-1-4-2) reflects the progressive stages of British constitutional proposals leading to the partition and independence of India.
